And in all honesty, I think the Chiefs have better coordinators and more talent on the whole than Detroit, outside of the QB position and the WR position.
The Chiefs could easily win six this year. If the ball rolls their way, they could conceivably win eight. Now, there's virtually no chance they make the playoffs but if their personnel decisions are even 50% correct (TJ, Weignman, Lilja along with the draft), I find it very difficult to argue that this team isn't dramatically improved.
They're not improved enough to challenge for the division title or a playoff spot, but they are improved.

Why is it silly to compare, Dane?
Some of us were championing Schwartz as the new HC of the Chiefs.
He was hired at the same time as Pioli/Haley.
Why is it silly to compare two teams that started over, both with next to nothing on their roster?
I know that if I were trying to make the point that KC has done a better job over the past 15 months, I wouldn't want to compare the rosters either.
This isn't a knock on you personally. You're my boy. But the overall tone of this place is EXACTLY like last year.
Everyone hates the picks initially, (sans Berry and Asomoah) then begin to rationalize it because some pundits like it - instead of sticking to their opinion.
It happened after the Cassel trade, it happened after last year's draft, and it happened this weekend.
